Glad to see the consensus here seems to be that all disease vector mosquitoes could be eliminated with a negligible negative effect on the environment.
-- Didn't really follow the patent discussion though. When human lives are on the line are we really worried about a potential patent suit down the road on something we made little to no money from?
I'm not sure what the motivation for the infringement suit would be if there is no money to be had. I don't doubt that in some other circumstances you might be the subject of a punitive action, but it doesn't seem like that would be the case in this instance.
Supposing a small non-profit corporation accidentally infringed on a patent or was unable to obtain suitable licensing terms and pursued a course that invited an infringement suit... what would the ramifications be? Would mega-corp sue a humanitarian organization just to make it fold and intimidate others with no hope of a profitable judgement?
